"Let's go too!"
Ji Ning turned the Winged Sky Wolf's head, and then threw a sentence at the Sikong Zun. "Sikong Zun, with me, Ji Ning, here, your True Devil Empire can forget about having any improper thoughts about the Divine Phoenix Empire!"
After saying that, this pair of people quickly left.
They really came in a hurry, and also in a hurry.
The Winged Sky Wolf's speed was extremely shocking.
Yellow sand filled the sky.
Smoke and dust flew everywhere.
This was a city with an extremely harsh illusion.
It stood on the border of the Divine Phoenix Empire, guarding the northern gate of the empire.
Facing the empire's most ferocious enemy — — the Black Crow Empire.
In the entire Divine Phoenix Continent, the Divine Phoenix Empire occupied close to half of the territory.
The Black Crow Empire occupied eighty percent of the remaining half.
And this Black Crow Empire also had the backing of the White Tiger Continent.
The White Tiger Continent was the third continent, and its overall strength was much stronger than the Divine Phoenix Continent. If the Divine Phoenix Continent's practitioners wanted to go to the White Tiger Continent, it was impossible for them to reach the Grotto Heaven Realm.
Not only was this route filled with danger, but it was also because there were countless experts on the White Tiger Continent.
Perhaps the reason why the Divine Phoenix Empire chose to form an alliance with the True Devil Empire was also related to the Black Crow Empire.
On the dust-filled yellow sand road, a person stood.
A person wearing a ghost mask.
Violent winds wreaked havoc, and yellow sand filled the sky. But when it was a few meters away from him, it naturally bounced off, forming a strange ball.
A group of people rushed over from afar, and when they approached this person, they all stopped.
"Mister Ghost Mask!"
This group was Ji Ning's group that had left the Imperial City.
And that ghost mask was naturally Ling Xiao.
"May I have a word with you?"
Ling Xiao cupped his hands and said.
The reason why he rushed over and waited here before Ji Ning, was only to form an alliance with Ji Ning.
To deal with the True Devil Empire, he naturally couldn't do it alone, so he needed an ally.
This Ji Ning was a bold and straightforward person. If it was possible to form an alliance with him, then he would finally have a place to stay in Divine Phoenix Empire in the future.
"This is not a good place to talk. Why don't we go to the Northern Desert City for a chat?"
Ji Ning looked around warily.
"Fine!"
Ling Xiao nodded. He had been traveling for such a long time and was a little tired. It would be good if he could rest in the Northern Desert City.
Moreover, since they were going to form an alliance, they had to reveal their true identities. Otherwise, it was unlikely that there would be any mutual trust between them.
"Come on, give Mister Ghost Mask a Winged Sky Wolf!"
Ji Ning was naturally very interested in this mysterious devil-masked man. When he heard that Ling Xiao had agreed to go to the Northern Desert City with him, he was very pleased. Therefore, he ordered his subordinates to give up one of their mounts.
"Many thanks!"
Ling Xiao did not decline.
Even though his Heaven's Origin Energy was long and vigorous, it was still a little too much for him. Therefore, it was a good thing to ride the Winged Sky Wolf and rest for a while.
He was not in a hurry to reveal his identity. Since Ji Ning felt that this was not a good place to talk, then he must be worried about being monitored. He had to be more careful.
A pair of people galloped majestically.
A moment later, at the place where the Winged Sky Wolf was flying at a low altitude, a strange plant suddenly appeared.
Its outer appearance was similar to a cactus, but it had a human face.
The human face was divided into Yin and Yang, one black and one white. This was clearly a characteristic that only the Yin Yang Demon King's subordinates had.
"Quickly report back. That devil-masked man has already contacted Ji Ning. It's a pity that the Northern Desert City is protected by a magic array, so we can't get close."
The Yin Yang Demon King shouted to his side. Then, a rustling sound came from the ground and quickly went away.
… …
The Northern Desert City was already close.
From afar, one could see that the tall city walls were almost like a sand city. It did not have the luxury of the Imperial City, nor the grandeur of the Sacred City.
There was only desolation and a harsh environment.
"This is a lone city. Once it's surrounded, the reinforcements will not be able to arrive. General, have you not thought of retreating some distance and relying on the mountains to build a city and then strengthen the defense?"
Ling Xiao asked doubtfully.
Ji Ning shook his head and smiled. "Mr. Devil-Masked man, look behind this city."
"Behind?"
Ling Xiao patted the Winged Sky Wolf lightly. The beast rose into the air and flew to a height of more than ten meters. As expected, they could see behind the city. It was actually an oasis. Not only was there a rich water source, but there were also many people living there.
At a glance, one could tell that most of these people were mediocre. Some were not even martial artists.
If the Northern Desert City was retreated, this place would be completely exposed to the iron hooves of the Black Crow Empire. In that case, not only would blood flow like a river, the only oasis in this area would be destroyed. Thousands of people would be displaced.
"It seems that I did not misjudge him. This Ji Ning is not only forthright and straightforward, but also treats the people very well. If it was someone else, I'm afraid it would be difficult to put himself in the most dangerous place and let the people hide behind."
Ling Xiao's judgment of Ji Ning in his heart had improved.
"Mr. Devil-Masked man, you may not know that the Northern Desert City used to be behind the oasis. That way, life would be more comfortable. But after the General came here, he built a new city. All of it was built by soldiers. He did not take any able-bodied men from the people!"
A deputy general of the Northern Desert City could not help but say.
"Oh?"
"If Mr. Devil-Masked man does not believe me, you can ask around in the village. The Northern Desert City is still in the process of being built. According to the plan, it will be surrounded by the oasis. In this way, if the enemy invades, they will not be able to bypass the Northern Desert City to harm the people."
That deputy general saw the shock on Ling Xiao's face and could not help but add another sentence.
"I believe you!"
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "For someone who would not hesitate to give up his life for a promise, it is not difficult for him to do such a thing."
"Sigh, I am only trying my best. The current Divine Phoenix Empire looks glamorous on the surface, but in reality, it is surrounded by strong enemies and is full of danger. As the number one empire in the Divine Phoenix Continent, everyone wants to see you fall and then divide this fat piece of meat."
Ji Ning sighed and said, "What's more, I am not protecting the people here entirely out of kindness. More importantly, I want to nurture more useful martial artists. Although the conditions here are not as good as Phoenix Academy and Qingxu College, it is better to train people!"
"That's right, Phoenix Academy and Qingxu College will send a batch of students here every year to train!"
That deputy general said excitedly, "When this group of students see the martial artists of the Black Crow Empire, their usual arrogance completely disappears. Each and every one of them is so scared that they cry out 'wah wah wah'. Even if they are stronger than the opponent, they will not be able to defeat them. They must train well so that they will not be killed on the battlefield in the future."
"He is right, Mr. Devil-Masked should also know that the next continent is the White Tiger Continent, right?"
Ji Ning suddenly asked.
Ling Xiao nodded and said, "I know!"
"But Mr. Devil-Masked definitely does not know that there is an island between the Divine Phoenix Continent and the White Tiger Continent?"
Ji Ning asked.
Ling Xiao shook his head and said, "I did not listen."
